'Rain Man' House In Foreclosure

The home where the 1988 movie 'Rain Man' was filmed has had a hard year. The home in East Walnut Hills the East Walnut Hills area of Cincinnati, Ohio has been foreclosed on and yesterday was the last day of an estate sale. The 14-room home was owned by Roger Ach and the foreclosure process began over the summer. It was set to be sold in a sheriff's sale in July but ownership was transferred from Ach to a trust controlled by his attorney, Charles Hertlein. Recently the Hamilton County Municipal Court signed an eviction notice on the home which is valued at $1.2 million.

The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Ach was foreclosed on by Cinco Family Financial Credit Union after he failed to pay the credit union $1.4 million for two mortgages with Cinco. This appears to the be the second round of foreclose for Ach on this house. The Enquirer says that in 2003 he was was sued for foreclosure and the house was sold at public auction to an attorney for a company owned by former Cincinnati Reds owner Carl Lindner, a friend of Ach's family. It was was transferred back to Ach in 2007 when Ach took out the mortgages with Cinco.
